Re: visa

If you marry in Brazil, you'll need to then apply for a K-3 spouse visa which takes approximately 7 months to process.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss your options in greater detail.

Re: visa

You should be able to sponsor him for his green card after you are married. If eligible, he will be able to apply at the consulate in Brazil. If you want him to visit prior to your marriage then he will have to apply for a tourist visa.

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss his options in further detail.

Re: visa

Good news is that you have several options (if there are any criminal records please let me know because that can make a difference). Aside from that you can bring him here as a fiancee (K-1) visa - obviously before marriage, you can file for his green card once you are married and he can process his green card in Brazil, or you can get married, file for his green card and at the same time file for a K-3 visa which will allow him to come here prior to receiving his green card (if all goes well) and he can continue the process once he gets here. Now, with this all said and done I would want to discuss all surrounding circumstances of your meeting just so I'm comfortable that we won't have any red flags in the process. Finally, to answer what I believe you were asking - he will most probably NOT be able to fly back with you right now if you get married. If you contact me for a consultation we'll spend 30 minutes and I will literally walk you through his status today until the day he can have citizenship. Again, presuming there are no red flags that may arise. You can email me or visit www.kumarlaw.com for more information.
